Without proper medical invention, injuries sustained from traffic collisions, serious workplace accidents or weapons may result in fatal hemorrhaging./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/n
166su researchers aim to prevent such bleeding in potentially deadly situations with a new hemostatic spongelike bandage with antimicrobial efficacy that they recently developed and detailed in a newly published study in the journal Biomaterials Science./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/n /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/u201cWhat happens in the field or during an accident is due to heavy bleeding, patients can die,/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/u201d says Kausik Mukhopadhyay, assistant professor of materials science and engineering at 166su and study co-author. /news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/u201cThese fatalities usually occur in the first 30 minutes to one hour. Our whole idea was to develop a very simple solution that could have the hemostatic efficacy within that time. If you can save the patient, then the doctors and the nurses can then save the patient./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/u201d/news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/143461/n
